I recently ported an old VB6 application to VB.NET where there are several subroutines which are nested. I keep getting a stack overflow. This can happen as often as every 10 minutes. The main subroutine is also called by a timer. If I set the timer to 500 msec, I get the error every 10 minutes. If I set the timer to 3500 msec, I get the error every 8 hours.
What is the best way to diagnose this error?
